Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Yeah, yeah, so I missed Earth Day. I promise I did my best to drastically curtail my usual polluting practices for the occasion though: I waited until the next day to chuck all those batteries into the lake.*

Anyhoo, I promised you lovely twits on Twitter that we would extend the celebration here on Wrecks and have a whole Earth Week. So that's what we're doing. [putting on green & purple party hat & blowing on noise maker] Yay, Earth!

Now, where's the cake?

What? I was supposed to bring it? Oh, I see how it is: I've got to do everything around here, don't I? [rummaging through photos] Fine. I'm sure I can find an Earth cake in here somewhere...

UPDATE: To the scores of you telling me this is supposed to be Disney's Epcot Center: Um, yeah, I know. See, the ball at Epcot is called Spaceship Earth, NOT Epcot. Give a Diz Geek a little credit, eh?

[returns to rummaging] Let's see...Earth cakes...Earth cakes...

Well, that's more of an earthquake. Although it's nice how the Wreckerator added that bridge in to span the gap. In fact, I think it fits right in with the triple-cloned Mickey, Pocahontas, matchbox cars, roses and palm trees, don't you?

Moving on...How about some earth movers?

See, since "earth" is also another word for "dirt", this actually makes perfect sense.

Although I must say, they're getting quite generous with the cake toys these days, aren't they? Just look at the size of those things! Pretty soon they're going to start slapping Big Wheels on cakes and calling it a day. (No, I don't know why they'll call Big Wheels on cakes "a day", but trust me, they will.)

Just so you know, the first cake, while wrong in color, is actually a cake from a Collette Peters book. Hers is more green, and she adds royal icing for the thorns, but I recognize that cake a mile away? Why? Because I tried it myself. I can send you pics if you want them. They aren't wreck pics however (or, at least, I don't think they are, but I'm biased, obviously. Oh, andI love commas, can't you tell?)

The last cake is great, not only because it reminds us to recycle but because it looks like someone recycled their St. Patrick's Day wreck. I can only assume that... thing... was once intended to be a shamrock.Yes. Shamrock. that's slightly less disturbing that mushroom cloud of uncertain doom.

That first one (at least judging by the Disney-style lettering) is probably supposed to be the Epcot Dome. Doesn't make it look any more hairy, but does explain the grey-ness. Actually it's probably not too bad... hehehe, love the mushroom cloud.

I'm thinking that the first cake is the Epcot Center in Disney World. If you look at the writing on the card, it is the way Disney writes. BTW Long time "looker" first time poster. LOVE the website, I laugh out loud frequently...

The Spaceship Earth one may look like a fuzzy golf ball (a little more fungal than I prefer my cakes) but the handwriting is *awesome*. Whomever did that has really mastered the art of recreating Disney's font-family in frosting.

"Earth Day" represented by the bulldozing of mother nature by high pollutant construction vehichles and loading the subject matter greenary and earth in the back of said vehicles to dump in a landfill is just so wrong on so many levels.

The silver textured attempt at a pentakis dodecahedron is pretty wicked though. I like the piping.

Jen, sorry, but I have to defend the first cake; it is the Epcot Center at Disneyworld (look at the font they used- totally Disney)! I grew up loving that place since we lived in the area. It actually is a really good replica!

LOL..call me a Disney geek but I actually like the Spaceship Earth one. Tho, I would really NOT want to be the one to pipe on all those stars..wow! They even used the Waltograph Font on the sign. Told ya I was a Disney nut. LOL

That being said..cake #2 confuses me **scratches head..huh? What is the cause for the cake?

#3...Ummm, isn't the point of Earth Day to conserve the Earth, not rip up trees and excavate the heck out of it? LOL

Sadly, it looks like the "Earthquake" cake is a display in some sad bakery's window. Didn't they get the memo, they should display something that shows their skill and creativity, and perhaps even something one might actually want to buy?

Pretty obvious that no one else reads the comments first before they comment. So for the 37th time, hey, I think the first one is supposed to be Spaceship Earth! It isn't Epcot, Epcot is the whole park but I'll stop being a Disney nerd now.

Wait, one last thing. To whoever said "Epcot center, now owned by Disney" It's uhhh....always been owned by Disney.

What is up with the earthquake cake? Did the wreckerator just find some random scraps on the floor? "What have we got laying around? A palm tree, Mickey Mouse, a car...we need the bridge obviously, another Mickey Mouse...because everybody loves Mickey...just like I love gin. Why not three Mickeys?"

I got one of the "Construction" cakes (not Earth Day) for my son's 3rd Birthday. Got it from the Superstore (grocery store in Canada) bakery. The actually make really awesome cakes...pound cake and butter cream icing. My son's cake didn't look quite that bad and he licked the icing off every piece of machinery! (Yuck?)

I guess since EVERYONE is informing you that the first one is Epcot, that they do not realize that it is actually the home of Disney's SPACESHIP EARTH ride, hence the SPACESHIP EARTH reference....goodness...

Thank you, Kristen and Tara Bergin, for stating that the iconic sculpture at Epcot Center IS CALLED SPACESHIP EARTH. My brain was really hurting reading all the "corrections." Also, Epcot has ALWAYS been part of Disney World. Also, I like that cake-- it may be colorless, but it really does look like Spaceship Earth, which does in fact resemble a giant golf ball.

the first one is Epcot! Did you know it's Epcot? I can't believe no one told you it's Epcot! Didn't you see that lettering? It's the Disney lettering!

(ha, sorry...50 comments saying the same thing makes me giggle, I mean no harm to other commentators :))

Though even knowing that I still don't think it's THAT great. I mean it's recognizable, but it still looks rather fuzzy. If it was purple though I think it'd be a GREAT representation of these! http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendymerle/167796707/

The Spaceship Earth ride has been updated. It now features you in the future. They take a picture of you and the person you ride with and make a video of it and you can choose where you want to live and how. It's pretty freaking awesome!

The "earthquake" cake reminds me of the book in the Sleepover Friends series (one of the early ones... #5 or #6 maybe?) where they make a cake for Patti's brother's birthday and it ends up with a big crack in it. The SF's go with it and decorate it earthquake-style, which ends up being a big hit. This baker should have learned from them.

The first one reminds me of Snowball Earth, a theory that involves climatic instability which could drive the earth to freeze over as the ice reflects more and more of the suns energy. (My wife's studying climate change here in Sydney and my job is now surveyor of interwebs)

I'm shocked how many people didn't catch the Spaceship Earth connection, lol. Hell, I'm a child of the 80s, Spaceship Earth and more importantly, Figment, were HUGE Disney attractions when I was a kid!

WF: Foulable: Wrong, or full of fail. As in, having 50 comments stating the exact same thing, lol.

Since so many of you have defended the Epcot/Spaceship Earth cake as a NON-Wreck, I'm going to let you in on a little secret here in the comments: John and I made it. I wasn't going to mention it because I still think it looks like a big fuzzy golf ball (and I only posted it for the joke anyway), but I appreciate all the compliments regardless.

So there's some insider knowledge for you select few who've actually read all the comments down this far. See why it's so frustrating that so many accused me of not knowing what it was? :)

First of all, I just want to say - reading is good for your health. Secondly, hey, did you know that first cake is that Epcot Ball Thingy? Like, how can you totally not notice that? It's really well done and has the Disney lettering and EVERYTHING!

Gawd...reading that word soooo many times...kind of turns into hearing it in your head... over and over, louder and louder-- like a form of torture!Can't we just name it "HAIRBALL" and call it a day? Because... well, l@@k at it. We have cats, and I swear that they've tossed actual hairballs that were prettier than that piece of work.What I love about the last cake is that it tells you what to DO with it. First thing! Right from the bakery to the bin!Save the planet, indeed.=^><^=

For the one tearing up the earth...doesn't it say "Happy Earch Day?....and is that hair in the back of the dump truck? ewAlso, today it was like an echo in my brain to read the comments! I'm going to be repeating all day...epcot, epcot, epcot....Anyway, really love your site!

My first thought, upon seeing the Spaceship Earth cake, was also of Snowball Earth. I'm also a bit disturbed by the number of people able to identify Disney font! I think the Recycle cake is a recycled St. Patrick's Day cake. The mushroom cloud is likely covering up a shamrock. I like the concept of an earthquake cake, but I doubt that is for what the decorator was originally going.

JEN....Kudos on the "the big golf ball" Like I said, more power to ya for piping all those little stars (they were stars right???)

And just to get on the bandwagon(has anyone ever really been on one and was the band loud?) LOL---PSST...Epcot hasn't been called EPCOT Center for a while now. Both the ball and the ride are called Spaceship Earth. Sorry, Disney fanatic speaking..LOL

The 'Spaceship Earth' cake is intriguing, and the best use of the Wilton 'cover it with star tips' method I've seen to date. Too bad it's an unappealing grey...now, add a bit of silver lustre dust and it might be all right...No, on second thought, that would make it look like a crumpled ball of tinfoil, so nevermind.

The Dump Truck cake is cute--for a five year old's birthday. It suggests celebrating dirt rather than the earth (something that five year olds do indeed enjoy!). Oh well, I guess "Happy Dirt Day" doesn't have the same ring...

And is that 'recycle' a direction? As in "Don't eat this but just recycle it" or "you're gonna be recycling this cake soon after you eat it!" (brilliant green icing, bleh!) I saw a tree at first but I gave a "Ha!" at the mushroom cloud comment. I wonder if the wreckorator stepped back and thought, "Oh dear...Oh well, SOMEONE will buy it."

...I have the strange feeling I have just hit upon the central idea behind a cake wreck. It might be awful, but SOMEONE is bound to buy it. 0_o

Now I have to wonder if the earthquake cake actually /is/ a celebration of the Golden State supposedly tumbling into the ocean, with Pocahontas there representing the North American Plate. Or something. (More likely, I am giving the wreckerator too much credit.)

(Also, I am now tempted, as a student of earthquake physics, to make some sort of actual conscious effort at a quake cake. Please, someone hit me in the head before I think about this any further.)

I love the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow! (WOO! 1 million points to me!!) LOL @ everyone pointing out it's the "EPCOT Center/Ball/Globe/Dome/thing" I LOVE Spaceship Earth. Specifically, the smell when Rome burns. It's the ONLY thing I remember from my Dad. He died when I was 4, but we went to Disney World when I was about 3 and I remember that smell vividly.

VIX - Epcot stands for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. And an extra Disney nerd tidbit: Walt Disney never intended for Epcot to be anything like the park is today. He actually wanted it to be a self contained community where people would live and work. He planned for it to have it's own police force and everything.

no need to be rude about people not knowing what spaceship earth is called...it's an honest mistake. everyone was just trying to help the author out. plus comments have to be approved, so a lot of people probably didn't see the other comments saying the exact same thing. chill.

Jen, as much as I love your blog, the comments section leaves a lot to be desired. It's the moderation of ALL comments that is killing the fun. Fifty identical comments pile up in the review queue, and nobody has any idea that 49 people ahead of them have made the exact same comment.

It's really tiresome, and it's the reason I stopped reading your comments a while back (only looked again today because of the Spaceship Earth/Epcot nontroversy).

Can't you allow registered users to comment with the hand-holding? Goodness.

The comments up to now have been pretty thorough, but I have a few things I'd like to add:

1. Isn't EPCOT a separate park from Disneyworld? EPCOT is a Disney park, but I'm pretty sure it's not part of Disneyworld.

2. I like to think that someone specifically ordered the bulldozer cake for Earth Day in irony. It's still a wreck, but at least it's an ironic wreck.

3. That earthquake cake looks like it started life as some kind of budget alternative to a tiered wedding cake. Perhaps the cake reflects the outcome of the wedding: it all fell apart, and now the poor cake is doing the best it can with what it's got.

Julian said Also, I am now tempted, as a student of earthquake physics, to make some sort of actual conscious effort at a quake cake. Please, someone hit me in the head before I think about this any further.I saw some National Geographic documentary where geologists were using the most psychedelic layer cake I've ever seen to demonstrate some concept in geophysics. I don't remember what it was supposed to illustrate. I only remember the cake wreck that ensued. Beware of geologists with cake!

Jen, you made that Spaceship Earth? I really like it! I think it's ballsy personally, to try to make something soft and squishy (cake) in to a shape it's not going to happily hold (sphere) and make it work. And all those STARS!? I don't have the patience to pipe a zillion little stars. I like it...you can make ME one, and I won't complain! We'll eat it together, just you and me and a pair of forks. :)

EPCOT: Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow-or-Every Person Comes Out Tired-or-Every Pocketbook Comes Out Thinner-or-Every Parent Carries Out a Toddler

Epcot is a theme park. Spaceship Earth is PART of Epcot. Yes, it is iconic and the "symbolic" ride of Epcot, but it is NOT EPCOT. This would be like saying the Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom IS Animal Kingdom. Maybe before you offer "corrections," you should make sure that you are correct.

Ha Ha EPCOT!! I'm so old I watched em build that sucker! No really, I lived there and it was totally AMAZING to watch it go together. When you cut into the cake does it have all kinds of cool stuff inside it? I cannot even imagine making a cake like that - it would be all woggly and lopsided. I'll do the flat ones :)

Crud! I feel like a real BUM calling the Epcot Center a hairball--now that I know my HEROES made it!!! (NOW ya tell us.)Talk about "open mouth, insert both feet"!It's just that it's so... GRAY, and all...which is unappetizing.To me.You know, the BUM.Guess I'll shut up while I'm behind...................=^,,^=

Hey, is it too late to say that I LOVE it?*Ducks away from flying shoes*

The only thing better than reading today's post? The comments for it. Wow! Spaceship Earth? Hello? Besides, it's Jen! She's referenced so many things prior to this post that even on the off-chance she DIDN'T know what it was supposed to be, she would have figured it out from the Disney font like everyone else. Apparently we have 50+ special snowflakes here.

I lied, the best part about the post was after those comments knowing that Jen and her husband MADE the cake. That's the beauty of it! Also, I agree it's a non-wreck. Great job, guys!

(Note: Someone said it should have been silver, but if you watch the show Ace of Cakes in one episode even Duff and his team had a hard time creating a true silver icing which they finally achieved through some trial and error.)

EPCOT is a park in Disney World. DW is made up of four parks (again, EPCOT is one of them). Because SPACESHIP EARTH is so large, it has become the main identifying feature of EPCOT, just as the Tree of Life is for Animal Kingdom, Cinderella's Castle is for Magic Kingdom, and the giant Sorcerer's Hat is at Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM). EPCOT was always a part of DW, and it was one of Walt Disney's last great ideas. Unfortunately he never lived to see it become a reality. In short, the first cake is a bit of a joke, as it represents Spaceship Earth (no one in their right mind thinks the actual earth looks like that. There is no cake wreck that bad).

I would bet money that tomorrow when I check Cake Wrecks there will be new comments saying "hate to point it out, but that's Epcot! The Disney writing gives it away! :D"

OMG JEN UR WRONG! THE FIRST CAKE IS EPCOT NOT A GOLF BALL!!!!111!!!1!! WHY WOULD YOU EVAR CALL IT SPACESHIP EARTH!!1! ITS CALLED EPCOT!!!!Q111!!

Oh wait, EPCOT is a place that contains a building called "Spaceship Earth"? And you totally knew this, because you made the cake yourself? And can I also assume that you understood the Disney connection since you MADE THE DISNEY FONT CARD YOURSELF?

I love the Spaceship Earth cake! I knew what it was before I even scrolled down and saw the Disney lettering. Definitely not a wreck, just not "the Earth". You were just making a joke with that, right?

I too got the construction cake for My son's bob the builder party. The brown icing wasn't right.. looked very unappetizing.. He cried and hid under the table during the birthday song. Wrecks will do that.

Please, no worries, my friend! I happen to agree that it's a big gray fuzzball - that's why I posted it! Heh. At the time I was just looking for an excuse to try out my Wilton ball pan, and it really was a fun experiment.

See, it's actually a complete sphere: John made the legs to support it, so the cake was set up off the base entirely. We were psyched that it stayed together even after a car ride to Jeff's house! Of course, *cutting* it was kind of tricky...

Ok, geek-out time over. Suffice to say, I'm not in the least bit offended by anything said here today, so don't worry on my account.

The best part about the whole post was the fact that everyone kept saying "Epcot Center," something that does not even exists! Yes, that is Spaceship Earth, but the theme park is called Epcot. It's not even an abbreviation now. There just is no Epcot Center. Trust me--I used to work there. :) Anyway, it just makes me giggle that people were trying to correct you, Jen, and they were waaaay off base. Yay for you!

First, I'm laughing because of the Recycle cake--in an aluminum pan that recyclers around here won't take unless you've (wasted water to) scrub it completely clean of all food particles and covered with a plastic lid that is not considered a recyclable plastic, at least not by our local service.

Second, I'm laughing because I checked all the 136 (as of right now) posts before posting mine, because I didn't want to repeat something that had already been said...and all the people who didn't do that!

Aw, Jen--you have GOT to be the sweetest person EVER!I really felt bad, and now I feel better! Thanks.A spherical cake really IS an amazing feat, now that I actually ponder it; being able to frost one all the way around seems to almost defy gravity. If *I* were to try that, it'd come out looking like the Moon--probably plastered quite messily with finger-shaped frosting craters!I'm thinking one way to slice it just might be with a nice thin wire, maybe through the middle horizontally, then into wedges, but-???-things in my head rarely come out resembling reality.=^<..>^=

OMG I totally got the biggest laugh out of the post about how Disney now owns Epcot! I work for Disney and I don't think I realized that many people don't know what Spaceship Earth is! Then again I used to work at Magic Kingdom and have people ask me where the castle was, or Spiderman...What I love most is that the cake is for Jeff and that is my fiance's name and his birthday was two weeks ago. I think I may have let him down in not making him that cake, maybe next year.

Wow, the "earthquake cake" reminded me of in 4th grade, when our teacher taught us about the different types of earthquakes by having us split into groups and decorate cakes with frosting and little plastic figures, and then simulating the earthquake. I couldn't name any of the types of earthquakes now, but I remember the cake, so hey, at least I learned something that year, right?

And also, I find it a bit funny that the first half of comments is saying that the cake is the epcot center, and then the second half is saying how everyone who said it was the epcot center is so dumb that they didn't understand that the epcot center was the same as spaceship earth. But hey, great minds think alike or whatever, right?

In the interest of fairness, calling the park Epcot Center is not as off the mark as calling Spaceship Earth itself Epcot or saying that Epcot is not part of Disney World or was at one time part of Disney World. The ball has always been called Spaceship Earth and the park has always been part of Disney World, but Epcot was called Epcot Center until just fifteen years ago.

These comments are pretty funny. Spaceship earth is the RIDE inside of Epcot. Just like Cinderella's Castle is INSIDE The Magic Kingdom. Tree of Life is inside Animal Kingdom and so on... oh nevermind.

I really cannot believe the number of morons that felt the need to correct your "Spaceship Earth" comment. So quick to judge without all the information. Dear readers...that huge globe at EPCOT is called Spaceship Earth.

So many people feel strongly about the Disney cake yet they are so uninformed. The Theme park is Epcot and has not been called Epcot Center for several years. The ball is Spaceship Earth and is an attraction at Epcot. Google your facts before you post like a know-it-all. Cake Wrecks Rules!

Look, I can understand your frustration but in the interest of charity here, I'd like to point out a few things.

1. Obviously there are many people who are not "Diz Geeks" and don't know that thing is called Spaceship Earth and have never heard of Spaceship Earth, only EPCOT Center. So, when you interpret your witticism in that light, it sounded like you were saying it looked like a spaceship shaped like the Earth which implied (to us) that you didn't know what it really was.

2. Since your comments are moderated, we have no idea how many people have already commented or what they have said which is why you get 50+ people all saying the same thing. Apparently there were A LOT of us who didn't know that it was called Spaceship Earth but WE didn't know that.

3. And this one might be a little redundant... the only reason we didn't get your joke was because WE didn't know what that big golf ball thing is called other than EPCOT which means that even though we wrongly assumed you didn't know what it was, apparently many people DON"T know what it's called. Nobody was accusing you of being addle brained. Can you cut us a little slack for not being Disney freaks and how about a slice of cake while you're at it?

Now, finding out that you and your husband made it and that you knew exactly what it was all along makes us feel a little foolish (especially since it is nowhere near a wreck and you know it) but I am happy to swallow my pride and say "Oops! Sorry! Silly me!"

I wanted to let you know that I completely support your use of comment moderation. We used to have an open forum on a site where I work and it had to be taken down because of what was being said. My daughter reads this and it makes me happy that I don't have to worry about what she might see.

For the person that called Spaceship Earth (which is always closed when I'm there and I've never got to ride)a pentakis dodecahedron, it's not. It is a geodesic sphere, the first (and maybe only?) one ever constructed.

Oh my goodness, this is ridiculous. All these people, up in arms over something so silly. Ignore all these haters who have no sense of humor - I think they are all wreckerators who are either jealous of your skillz (the Spaceship Earth cake is awesome. And the font! So perfect!) or have had their cakes featured in the past and are therefore cranky. We (my husband, sister and I) did not know that the globe dealio AT Epcot was called Spaceship Earth, but we still thought the post was funny. Thanks for teaching us some new Disney trivia, and for the humor, as always. Happy Irthday!

I can't believe you didn't recognize the LAST cake (that you called a "mushroom cloud") is clearly The Beast, from Disney's "Beauty And The Beast." Sheesh. The font gives it away. Seriously, though, let me just express my utter hatred for the millions of writers and their Epcot self-righteous ignorance.

Just wanted to add to the voices acknowledging that your "Spaceship Earth" reference indicated to me that you did, indeed, know that the first cake was supposed to be the giant golf ball building at Epcot. And you should get props for knowing the proper name of the attraction!

Jen, I am sure at this point you probably don't want to hear any posts, but... I really feel for you. I can't imagine how bad your hand hurt after piping all the stars on Spaceship Earth. I once did a fuzzy bumble bee and had a claw for a week.

Charlotte, as a "Diz Geek" myself, I can understand what you mean when you say there are many people who don't know the name of the attraction. HOWEVER, that's the time when the not-as-knowledgeable-in-WDW-attractions people need to refrain from trying to correct someone on something they know nothing about. And if it's going to be met with a post of "well WE didn't know!" then I have to wonder why so many people were acting as if they did. So much backpedaling.

Hey Jen - I understand your frustration. I used to work at the Disney Store and it never ceased to boggle our minds the number of guests we had that would try and correct our information on Disney. They ranged from being convinced that the Magic Kingdom was the only park in Disney World to the belief that Universal Studios was part of Disney and we just refused to sell them tickets. Amazing.

Mary,In all charity and kindness, you totally missed my point. Try to look at this situation from an non Diz Geek perspective; someone who is familiar enough with the iconic symbol of Epcot center (which should still be capitalized if it is an abbreviation but whatever!) but not knowledgeable about the specifics of the subject. Since I really can't speak for everyone else here who commented, I can only say that for myself, I interpreted Jen's comment in light of my own (lack of) understanding and offered her information that I thought I had that I perceived that she didn't. I was not correcting her or slamming her or accusing her or schooling her. Simply offering information. I can't know what I don't know. It was an honest mistake and I would feel awful if I thought it contributed to any kind of real angst on Jen's part. I can't imagine that anyone here was trying to slap her down. I enjoy her blog very much but then, I don't read blogs that I don't enjoy and maybe some people do. Like I said, I am only speaking for myself. Have a great day.

No wonder Jen had a nervous breakdown. Listen people and be educated. Spaceship Earth is th NAME of the large geodesic dome INSIDE Disney's Epcot center. Jen is entirely correct. Thank you! Hope you can recover quickly. I read the blog religiously

Spaceship Earth is indeed a geodesic sphere, however geometrically, it is also a pentakis dodecahedron, with each of the 60 isosceles triangle faces divided into 16 smaller equilateral triangles (with a bit of fudging to make it rounder)

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!!!Epcot is what the park is called, "Spaceship Earth" is the big shiny ball that is the major visual of that park. Kinda like all the other parks. You wouldn't refer to the Tree of Life as "Animal Kingdom" or Cinderella's Castle as "Disney World" so, Jen is right and drop it!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
